A DANDY DEFAUUTER.
He Wore Good Clothes at the Expense of
 DenOsitOrs.

He Wore Good Clothes at the Expense of
 Depositors.
 PHILADELPHIA, Dec. 1.-The systematic course of robbery which Joseph G. Knight, the arrested defaulter of the Manufacturers National bank, carried on for twenty years, is the main topic in mercantile and social cir ,:les. President Moffley, of the bank, said that Knights relatives are very wealthy and could have raised the $65, ,0O0 stolen in a few hours had they undertaken the task One of the directors, when asked to explain why the fraud was not detected, said that there was only one way to prove Knights accounts, and that was to add the individual deposits up daily and see if the column footings were correct. The directors never thought of doing this.
 Knight was noticeable for bis neatness and rather dandified appearance and looks younger than he really is. He always dressed in the best of fashion and boasted of wearing fresh suit of underclothes every day. He wore as many as three and some times four or five different suits week, and had a different hat for each kind of weather Regularly every morning he would ride down town in street car as far as the cor ner of Chestnut and Thirteenth streets and then walk down the former thoroughfare to the bank at Third street The other clerks told him he did this to show off his good clothes It is thought that the slack meth ods of running business at the bank prior to 1879 gave Knight a chance to take a little money.

Republican Consultations in Anticipation
 of Democratic Action.
 WASHINGTON, Dec. 1.-The Republicans of the house have been holding informal con- sultations upon the tariff question, and talk ing the matter over generally to see how they stand. MT. Reed, MT. Kelly, MT. Mo Kinley and others have been going about among those members as to whom they were in doubt and taking soundings, with the view of securing harmonious action. They have gradually pared their proposition down from what they would like it to be to make it ac- ceptable to their members who lean toward tariff reform until they have got it down to where they think they can all agree. They have decided to meet any proposition brought forward by the Democrats with one of their own, which they will propose as substitute. They have not definitely and finally decided upon the character of this substitute, as to every matter of detail, and they cannot until they learn more of what the Democrats are going to propose. They will shortly hold more formal coDferencs for final adoption of the plan. As it stands now it is uncertain whether or not they will propose to take the tax off sugar. They have agreed as to tobacco, but they still have some things to consider before settling the question as to sugar.

 Of the petitions of 2S convicts, the Board of Pardons have favorably considered only one. Frank Howard was pardoned, his re- lease to take effect on the first Monday of April next. Howard belonged to the Paddy Ryan gang in Litchfield county. He was IS years old and the youngest of the gang. In October, 1883, he was sentenced for 10 years to the State prison for horse stealing. He gave correct information to the United States and State officers, which resulted in the conviction of several bad criminals. With the credit of his cummu- tation for good conduct while in prison two months in each year) he will have served about two months over five years on the 1st of April next. State Attorney Huntington did not object to his pardon

War of determination.
 WINCHESTER, Ky. Dec. 1.-The feud which has existed so long between the Adams and Caswell factions broke out again Sunday night The trouble, which originated ten years ago, has cost to date two score of lives.
 For some months matters have been quiet, but on the night named the leaders of the factions met on Brush Creek, in Rock Castle county, and at the close of the service in church quarrel was followed by a fight, in which Granville Adams was killed by one of the Caswell gang, who fed They were pur- sued, and another fight followed, in which Frank Haslon and James Lunsford were killed and James Townsend was fatally hurt In a fight near Orlando on Tuesday Tom Jackson was shot dead from his horse.
 Sheriff White went to Brush Creek on Wednesday. He returned yesterday after noon, and says the feud will not be ended this generation. Since Sunday night six men have been killed and nearly dozen wounded.
 The leader of the Caswell faction was ar- rested by strategy, and is now closely guarded in the jail at Mount Vernon. His friends will doubtless attempt a rescue, and more blood will flow.

CHARLES CITY, Iowa, Dec 17.-Chester Bellows was hanged yesterday forenoon for the murder of Alice Waterman, his niece Shortly after 10 o'clock, preparations for the execution were begun.

During the melee he bit one of the guards severely on the hand. He was dragged up the steps of the scaffold piteously crying, "PleaSe don'tn
